Nunda Township Opts for Republican Township Primary Election

This shows those who came to Republican Headquarters to nominate Chris Christensen or Nancy Gonsiorek to replace McHenry County Board member Nick Provenzano on the fall ballot. Christensen won the nomination vote. Those from Nunda Township stayed for a second meeting, that of the Nunda Township Republican Party.

At the Nunda Township Republican Central Committee meeting last week, the Precinct Committeemen voted to hold a primary election to select who will run for Nunda Township office on the GOP ticket, according to Township GOP Chairman Joe Gottemoller.

That means at least two large townships have decided to again hold primary elections, instead of having Precinct Committeemen nominate candidates in a caucus.

Turnout is usually low at such elections, but the process allows many more people to participate than would turn up to a party caucus.

Algonquin Township Republicans have also decided to hold a primary election, instead of a party caucus.
